the claim of consistent hemispheric specialisations across classes of chordates is
undermined by the absence of population-based directional asymmetry of paw/hand use in …

Evidence of left–right asymmetries in invertebrates has begun to emerge, suggesting that
lateralization of the nervous system may be a feature of simpler brains as well as more …

Brains contain networks of interconnected neurons and so knowing the network architecture
is essential for understanding brain function. We therefore mapped the synaptic-resolution …

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has emerged as a key model organism in
neuroscience, in large part due to the concentration of collaboratively generated molecular …

The neural circuits responsible for animal behavior remain largely unknown. We summarize
new methods and present the circuitry of a large fraction of the brain of the fruit fly …

Flexible behaviors over long timescales are thought to engage recurrent neural networks in
deep brain regions, which are experimentally challenging to study. In insects, recurrent …

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, it has important theoretical and practical
significance to construct neural network models and study their dynamical behaviors. This …

We established a collection of 7,000 transgenic lines of Drosophila melanogaster.
Expression of GAL4 in each line is controlled by a different, defined fragment of genomic …

Despite the importance of the insect nervous system for functional and developmental
neuroscience, descriptions of insect brains have suffered from a lack of uniform …

Left-right asymmetries in brains are usually minor or cryptic. We report brain asymmetries in
the tiny, dorsal tubular nervous system of the ascidian tadpole larva, Ciona intestinalis …
